My grandfather Daniel
Molloy b. Cincinnati, OH (we think)
married a woman named Mary
Cohan. We think his middle name was Joseph,
and he was known as "
Dapper Dan" for being a good dresser
and we assume he was probably a big drinker. They are both buried in a
cemetery in Ft. Wright,No
KY, along with a daughter, Charlotte .
They had several children all born in Cincinnati:
William
Lillian d. 1975 m. Richard
McHugh no children
Charlotte died age 39 alcoholism
Anna
Marie
there may have been a male child Michael...?
Daniel Anthony b. 11/30/1909 - 9/13/1975 married Marguerite
Trusty 1946-47 She died 2002, was born May 26, 1918
Had 5 children: Daniel 1944 Maureen 1953 Tom 1955 Patricia 1959 and Margaret Ann 1960
grew up in Kenwood and
Loveland, OH (Cincinnati suburbs)
As children the Sr. Molloy family lived in the downtown section known as the "West End" in Cincinnati.
Several of the siblings and maybe the parents moved to St. Bernard, OH (Cincinnati)
in the 1910's-20's where several remained until 1960s.
There may be relatives in NYC - story was there were 3 maiden aunts who lived
there, sisters of Daniel
Molloy Sr. who were seamstresses. There is some story
about the family owning an oil lamp manufacturing business in NYC in the mid-1850s,
and the family members receiving a stipend of $3000 per year from a trust set up from a
fortune made in it.
There is also a story about the Molloys coming from County
Cork, Ireland.
We are trying to get a start on reseaching them. Molloy and
Cohan are common
Irish names.
Can you offer any help?
